worklaptop:/etc/sysconfig # grep PRIVA sysctl IPV6_PRIVACY="no" IPV6_PRIVACY="yes"

My /etc/sysconfig/sysctl shows the IPV6_PRIVACY parameter is deprecated. net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr shall be used instead. Try to set this parameter dynamically with sysctl, or use the /etc/sysctl.conf to configure it permanently. But, this issue is related to general security, not to wlan. I assign back to default then. The goal shall be to test if the temporary IPV6 address works.

In some cases, a per inteface it can't be applied because the kernel removes the complete /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0 directory while e.g. "ip addr flush dev XXX". => bug 559170 / bug 580018. Resolving as WONTFIX: the deprecated IPV6_PRIVACY can't be fixed properly. Workaround is to use ifsysctl files see "man 5 ifsysctl" and set it for the wlan0 interface (or for $INTERFACE), so it is applied via udev rule and in ifup. When NetworkManager is used, IFSYSCTL_NETWORKMANAGER=yes should be set to enable the ifsysctl run via udev. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
